Important

The audit page enables verification of the sitemap and resource URL’s on your web server. After a successful audit, you can rest assure that your ResourceSync site is healthy.

The audit page shows the current configuration, the location of the metadata the audit will be based upon, at what date and time the last execution of the synchronization took place, the web server that is being tested and the Document path for documents of the current configuration.

The audit process

You have a choice between auditing all resources and auditing the latest changes.

  • Audit all resources will include all resources mentioned in the sitemap documents currently in the metadata directory. Useful if you want to completely audit the part of your site that hosts resources and sitemaps of the current configuration.
  • Audit latest changes will only include resources that where affected according to the last synchronization.

All sitemaps will be included in the audit, no matter what choice you made for included resources.

Press Start to open the Audit execution window.
